The seventh and eighth sections relate to the powers of court com missioners and of the marshal and deputy marshals The ninth and tenth sections re- lating to the marriage ceremony require 8 certificate properly authenticated to be re- corded in the probate court. The eleventh disapproves and annuls all territorial laws recognizing the capacity of illegimate ehil- dren to inherit the estate of the father. The twelfth section disapproves and annuls terri torial laws conferring jurisdiction upon pro- bate courts. The thirteenth section makes it the duty of the Attorney General to institute proceedings to eseheat to the United States the property of corporations obtained or held in violation of section of the act of July 3, 1862. The fourteenth section regulates proceedings in such cases. The fifteenth an- nuls all laws of the legislative as sembly creating the Perpetual Emigrating Fund company and dissolves that corpora tion. The sixteenth section directs proceed ings for the disposition of the property and assets of the emigTating company.

The seventeenth section disapproves and annuls the acts of the legislative assembly incorpo- rating or providing for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It makes it the duty of the Attorney General to institute legal proceedings to wind up the affairs of the corporation. The eighteenth section widows. who are to have one-third the in come of the estate as their dover. Section nineteen gives to the President the appoint ment of probate judge in each county.
